SARGSYAN: PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SHOULD CONSOLIDATE AROUND ARMY
YEREVAN, January 16. /ARKA/. The public administration system should
be consolidated around the armed forces, Armenian president Serzh
Sargsyan said at an extended meeting of Armenian ministry of defence.
Representatives of legislative, executive and judicial authorities
participated in the meeting.
According to the president, Armenia managed to transfer from military
formations to a regular army, and the new objective is to consolidate
all public management around the armed forces.
"While strictly following the democratic principle of civil control
over the armed forces, we should, within the bounds of the law,
consolidate the special role that army has in our state," the
Commander-in-Chief said.
In case of any serious security threat all security, defence and law
enforcement agencies, including the police, rescue services, their
civil divisions and others should be able to give a consolidated
response, have comparable procedures and complementary technical
facilities, the president said.
Sargsyan said that natural links between the army and the society
should be facilitated, particularly to supply the army with the newest
scientific developments. Apart from this, military students should
be allowed to enter civil higher schools, and vice versa.
The first priority is to provide the armed forces with modern arms
and equipment.
"For this we should consolidated the links between the army and the
economy, and support the military industry," the Commander-in-Chief
said. -0--
